He 111 WN ?
 

Is there any know history for the following He 111 WN possibilities on a damaged subcomponent data plate: 4613, 4513, 4813?

Other shreads of information from the plate are: date - 11 41 or 11 42, type - 111 P, and maker - "LAND".

Best regards,
Steve

PS: Dave R., I'd very much appreciate your thoughts on this He 111 relic's past.

Hi Steve,

All nrs listed were H6. Nothing yet on 4613.

4513 was with 9./KG27 when it suffered 95% damage on 22 november 1941 - Werner Molders, as passenger, died in this accident.

4813 was with Stab1/KG53 when it was shot down during sortie to Malinowko on 30 March 1942.

If thr aircraft was one of these then 11/41 could be the date on the plate. However, as you mention the type as a P, maybe the first digit is something other than a 4?

hope this helps, any further info/corrections always welcome!

Regards,

David

Upon closer examination, it has been determined that the data plate is marked for: He 111 W-Nr. 4813. Thanks to David, I know that this airplane was with Stab1/KG53 when it was shot down during a sortie to Malinowko on 30 March 1942.

Is any other information known about this event?

Thank you,
Steve
